Contract husband

Omar’s expression grew pale.

” I think my husband is having an affair.” She said soberly.

Binta expression changed to that of concern.

” And why do you think he is cheating on you ma?”

Omar shrugged.

” Because he has completely changed…. See Binta…… I’ve been in this relationship game for many years and I can categorically tell you that I have experience in this things….. I tell you Ife is cheating on me, and that is the reality.” Omar said painfully.

” I’m so sorry about what you are going through Omar.” Binta replied sadly.

” I remembered how I felt when I discovered my husband was cheating on me with a brute woman….. it was really painful…. And I must say I understand how you feel.” Binta said in sympathy.

Omar shook her head sadly.

” I would have dealt with them both by now…. But I am really pained because I truly love him…. And marrying him was the best thing that ever happened to me…. but just when I thought I would be forever happy….. then this happened!!….” Omar said and broke down in tears.

Binta sighed and wrapped her hands around Omar tenderly.

” it’s ok Omar…. This is not the end….. if I can get my husband back…. Then you can too…”

” How did you do it?….. Please tell me how?”

” I prayed Omar…. Prayer is the key…. Have you really taken your time to pray for him?” Binta asked her.

Omar sniffed.

” Prayer….. I don’t even know how to pray anymore…. And sometimes when I mumble some words I wonder if God listens at all…. I also wonder if that is even the right way to pray.” Omar replied in honesty.

” God is your father…. And he knows what you are passing through…. he listens Omar…. What you need do is to confide in him….. what if I invite you to church?…. Would you honor my invitation?” Binta asked her.

Omar chuckled.

” Its been ages since I ever went to church…” Omar replied.

Binta nodded.

” We have our evening service tonight, and I am inviting you.” Binta said.

Omar sighed.

” Fine…. I’ll come….. but I do not know the address.”

Binta gave a broad smile.

“I could come pick you up this evening.”

Evening came and Binta came to the house to pick Omar.

” I’m not feeling too well Binta.” Omar complained.

Binta smiled.

” I think it’s because you are not in a good mood right now…

but trust me, the moment you step into the atmosphere of his awesome presence, every burden on your shoulders becomes light….. in his presence…. There’s fullness of joy!” Binta said.

Omar sighed.

” Fine…. I’ll go dress up.” She said and dragged herself to go prepare.

After 15 minutes had elapsed, she came out fully dressed.

” Is this outfit ok for a church gathering?” she asked Binta.

” You look just great Omar.” Binta replied.

” Shall we?”

” Sure.”

The car came to a stop at the front of Judith’s gate. Richard wound up his glass and they kissed.

” So when are we seeing again?” he asked her.

She giggled.

” How about we see tomorrow evening.”

“Hmm!… Tomorrow evening will be just fine.” Richard replied, rubbing his chin with his palm.

” I had a great time today girl…. I must confess…you are really sweet!!…. your sweetness beats my imagination.” Richard complemented her.

Judith bit her lower lip temptingly.

” I’m glad you had a great time.”

” But there’s a slight issue honey.”

” What is it?” Richard asked concernedly.

” I need some money to celebrate my upcoming birthday next two weeks.” Judith said coyly.

Richard scuffled.

” What about the money I gave you yesterday?” he asked her.

” Yes I used that one to pay some bills dear.” She replied swiftly.

” good… why not use the balance to run your birthday program.” Richard replied immediately.

” Come on Richie…. You only gave me Five hundred thousand naira…. And it’s finished…. I still need about a million naira for a start, to commence the planning of my birthday.” Judith replied abruptly.

Richard laughed.
